9 Best Face Moisturizer For Black Skin In 2022

2. Eucerin anti-age hyaluron filler day cream

When I have to recommend products to apply on the face, I always tend to choose the best, at the expense, too often, of prices.
It is a criticism that was leveled at me by some of my readers, and it is an aspect that I recognize. The reason is that I NEVER recommend products that I would not use (or already use) myself. It is the philosophy of beauty diary and I want it to remain so.
Great, but having to make the effort and choose a fairly inexpensive product, what would I choose?
Yes, I would opt for the discounted prices (when they are found) of a decent Eucerin hyaluronic acid face cream. A solid brand, with decades of experience, which offers convincing products at reasonable prices.
The hyaluron Filler cream does not include only hyaluronic acid (which we find in saline form, such as Sodium Hyaluronate).
In fact, we also find Shea butter (present in very high concentration), vitamin E, vegetable glycerin, and an abundant quantity of coconut oil extract (hydrogenated coco-glycerides) which acts as an excellent emollient.
Among the downsides, it must be said that the texture is in my opinion a bit heavy, therefore not suitable in the warm months or on oily skin. In terms of anti-aging, the results are rather limited, while it lends itself very well as a long-term moisturizer thanks to the high concentrations of hyaluronic acid and Shea Butter.

3. Shiseido Waso Color-smart Day Moisturizer

Have you thought about wearing a face cream that even out the complexion? Of course, there are BB creams, but the one proposed by Shiseido Waso was born as a day face cream, and then converts to a light covering.
It is an illuminating moisturizer for combination skin, which changes color adapting to the skin tone. To create a natural glow or base for makeup.
Among other things, it is very pleasant on the skin, as it leaves a very pleasant silky effect just a few minutes after it is absorbed on the skin.
It is equally true that it is a very full-bodied cream, very suitable for combination and dry skin, while perhaps a little too heavy to use on oilier skin, at least in the warm months.
The final effect is of a skin that appears smoother and more luminous, does not have a high coverage effect, but evens out the complexion. The consistency is particular because it is very dense, but this does not affect the ease of spreading it, which remains appreciable.

4. Estee Lauder Multi-Protection Creme

Let’s move on to one of the best-known products in the world, as well as bestsellers in the US market.
Estee Lauder Multi Protection is a moisturizing – anti-aging cream, which aims to be a mid-high-end day face cream, complete at 360 °.
Let’s start with the formula of the ingredients. It is incredibly rich in active ingredients, many of which are plant-derived.
Not only does shea butter create the structure of the cream, but in addition to this, we find other fundamental active ingredients for the skin: caffeine, hyaluronic acid, lipoic acid, vitamins C and E as well as coenzyme Q10.
These are the ingredients well known in science, known for their proven moisturizing and revitalizing properties.
Then, scrolling through the INCI, we notice the presence of as many as 20 – twenty! – plant extracts, which make up the Super Anti-Oxidant Complex patent by Estee Lauder.
Now, patents are generally a “closed box” because they cannot be verified by scientific bibliography, but here we are slightly wrong: Estee Lauder has put in the formulation many medicinal plants known to have an antioxidant effect on the skin, guaranteeing an effective barrier against free radicals, as well as against inflammation from dehydration.

5. Filorga Time-Filler Wrinkle Correction Moisturizing Skin Cream

Filorga Filler Mat is the cream created to give a concrete moisturizing and lifting effect to those who have oily skin.
It is an anomalous cream because usually creams for mature skin, typically anti-wrinkle and lifting, start from the premise that more mature women have dry skin, and are not oily.
Of course, this is not always the case.
Time Filler Mat was born as a face cream for people looking for a moisturizing cream with an anti-aging effect but designed for an oily skin type.
It is a cream that works with a mix of tripeptides, capable of relaxing and elasticizing the skin in order to minimize the appearance of wrinkles.
It also contains Matrixly Synthe 6 and the brand’s NCTF complex, which are proprietary principles to stimulate the epidermis in the formation and growth of new hyaluronic acid and collagen.
We also find the fenugreek resin extract which is useful for exfoliating the pores and on balance it can significantly reduce the texture and appearance.
In terms of effectiveness, it is a cream that does its job well. Both as a lift for wrinkles and as a discreet moisturizer.
Its cream-gel formula is practically the perfect texture for combination and oily skin, because it manages to guarantee a dry, opaque, and silky appearance, even on oily skin.

6. SkinCeuticals A.G.E. Interrupter

SkinCeuticals AGE Interrupter is the best known and most used of all facial products from SkinCeuticals, a US company founded in 1994.
I note that the company was originally a pharmaceutical that carried out research on melanomas and other types of skin diseases, the results of which then went on to develop the company in the field of skin care cosmetics.
The name of SkinCeuticals AGE Interrupter derives from the acronym of Advanced Glycation End-product. As such, before discussing the benefits of SkinCeuticals AGE, I think it is important to understand what glycation is and also some differences between the two main types of natural skin aging. Glycation occurs when excess glucose molecules in cells attach themselves to collagen and elastin fibers, binding to them and causing chemical reactions, called AGEs or advanced glycation end products.
The glycated collagen and elastin fibers lose the ability to function normally, and the body manages to replace them, which leads to the formation of deeper skin wrinkles.
Since the loss of collagen functionality is one of the major factors that lead to the development of wrinkles, by preventing their destruction and stimulating the growth of the fibers, it is possible to obtain the concrete and real anti-aging effect, both in the immediate and in the long term.
The cream is formulated with Proxylane, cranberry extract, and phytosphingosine which can help manage the erosion of skin elasticity and firmness, while addressing skin wrinkling and thinning, wrinkles, and skin roughness.

7. L’Erbolario Cream

The body cream of the Erbolario all’Iris is a cream that I personally love very much and that is certainly a winner if we look at it from the point of view of value for money.
I know that some will turn up their noses looking at the price that I consider “excellent”, but I can assure you that below this threshold the ingredients we are going to spread on the skin are neither of high quality nor usually beneficial for the skin, so I carefully avoid them.
This dry skin body cream is a nourishing cream with a deeply rich texture, with a really pleasant and sensual scent.
The composition of the ingredients, as I said earlier, is excellent for the proposed price.
We find practically only plant-based ingredients, none of which are allergenic of any kind.
Among the most interesting it is inevitable that I cannot mention the high concentration of olive oil extract. It is an extract naturally rich in vitamins A and E, as well as the powerful hydroxytyrosol, which has anti-inflammatory effects and fights free radicals. Olive oil can penetrate the skin, prevent moisture loss and give it a silky smoothness.

8. Clarins Extra-Firming Lifting Cream

Clarins Extra Firming Day is a cream that is of a superior category, but it is one of those whose price reflects the quality of the product.
This Clarin’s cream has key ingredients to protect us from the harmful effects of pollution. In particular, these are plant-derived antioxidants that are able to counteract the effect of free radicals. (In particular, Harungana leaf extract, Sanicula Europaea Extract, Kalanchoe Pinnata Leaf Extract, Balanites, Mitracarpus Scaber Extract, but I can’t name them all!)
As in the creams seen above, also in this case we have the notable presence of shea butter (a formidable moisturizer) and glycerin, another excellent plant substance capable of giving progressive hydration to the skin.
We also find hyaluronic acid, which as we all know, guarantees gradual release hydration over time.
This cream, which was born for combination skin, I found it really excellent to rehydrate and replenish the driest skin.
To be clear, I have seen skin so dry that the wrinkles on the face were due more to a lack of hydration than to the formation of wrinkles due to aging or a lack of collagen.

9. NUXE Anti-Aging Nuxuriance Rich Cream

Many of us are looking for a cream with natural ingredients, but with a deep anti-wrinkle effect.
In this, I find the Nuxe Nuxuriance Ultra anti-wrinkle cream truly ideal, which although not totally natural, maintains high standards, with over 91% of ingredients of natural origin.
For those unfamiliar with it, Nuxe is a high-end French brand, capable of creating truly delicate but effective cosmetics. The goal of all its creams is to maintain a good compromise between effectiveness and quality of the ingredients and even in this anti-wrinkle, it is not denied.
This cream works by specifically increasing the skin’s collagen and elastin levels to significantly improve internal hydration and increase skin elasticity.
The main ingredients include large quantities of tocopherol (a strong antioxidant), sweet almond extract, sunflower oil extract, opuntia flower extract, poppy extract, sage extract, and Undaria extract.
